astrological symbols as fonts

2012-10-30 Thread William W. Saylor, PE 
I am working on an astrodynamics test with the usual quantity of
mathematical equations, Greek symbols, etc. I use MathType as an equation
editor since it has more extensive capabilities than the FM equation editor.


 

Traditionally there are several symbols used to represent the planets,
earth, sun, moon, Ares, etc that are basically astrological symbols. I could
use these symbols in FM directly if I could find / make them.

1.  Does anyone know of a font that includes these symbols?

2.  How hard is it to create such symbols and be able to use them in FM
(particularly as subscripts)?

3.  Thanks,

4.  Bill

A google search of "font zodiac sign" turns up a number of links; I'm 
sure you could modify the terms and find many more.  Here's one:
http://www.astrosense.net/downloads.html
"ASTROGADGET is a True Type font which contains all the star sign 
symbols (glyphs) and planets plus other astrology related symbols"

Twelve Zodiac signs are in Wingdings:
^_`abcdefghi

But you probably want a font that specializes in all of it, so:
http://www.astrosense.net/downloads.html

Specifically:
http://www.astrosense.net/fonts/starfont.zip

I wouldn't bother to make Frame drawing objects (on Ref pages or
wherever) if I was hoping to use the symbols in an equation or otherwise
manipulate them with styles. Conversely, if you want multi-color icons
or some-such, you'll have to make drawings (anywhere) and import them as
necessary (Ref Pages, for style calls; in Background frames, for headers
and footers; in Anchor Frames, for ad hoc usage; etc.).

HTH;
David
